Was there ever not a time to sideline the internet when evaluating collective reality? There hasn’t been in the 30 years I’ve been here.

- bckr 3y agoThe internet has never been real life. But sometime in the last couple decades reporters stopped going outside and started reporting on whatever they saw on twitter, thus creating an irreality feedback loop
- mrguyorama 3y agoI mean, most of the journalists were fired and replaced with social media "content producers" who have done zero journalism because the industry kinda shrunk by like 90% and can't afford to buy actual journalism.
- dogleash 3y agoNope. The media has been pretending the internet is real life (so they can write lazy articles) for so long that they've forgotten it's not.
